Every journey has to begin somewhere...but I don't intend to review the very first Street Fighter quite yet. That would require playing it again, and I currently have more urgent tasks ahead of that, like individually plucking my nose hairs with a pair of rusty pliers. Instead, I'll be taking a look at what I had greatly anticipated; a brand NEW…

RETRO REBOOT | Neo Turf Masters (Neo Geo/Arcade)

I can talk about SNK-produced fighting games until I'm blue in the face. Or type about them until I'm numb in the fingers, in this instance.

RETRO REBOOT | Adventure Island (NES)

Hudson Soft's library of games are some that I have not taken full advantage of talking about here on the Retro of Reboots. Their influence gets overlooked, mostly due to the larger publishing and development giants throughout the 80's, 90's, and 2000's.

Okay, this one is very modern and I'm breaking some rules here, but it earns a special place in my heart.
